Summary
In this episode, I walk you through what really happens when a crisis hits and families realize they are not prepared to make medical, legal, or financial decisions. I share why love and good intentions are not enough, and how lack of clarity creates stress, conflict, and delays when it matters most. You'll learn what adult children often miss, what decisions come up quickly, and why early planning changes everything. If you're starting to notice changes in your parent, this episode will help you think more clearly about your next steps and how to get the right support.
